The goal of the camp is to examine and mine the techinical format of the data feeds (TARC, PARC, Your Mapper) and lay the groundwork for building apps and websites using the raw data. So we recommend attendees that want to help out and collaborate during the camp have a good technical knowledge of how to build apps or sites.

Before the date, see if you can get a bit familiar with the GTFS feed format, and try out all the features of the transit directions on Google Maps in your browser, tablet, and phone.

Please bring your favorite development laptop to work on.

We will have wifi, tables, and chairs for you to get crackin'.
